Dedicated to my friend Emily, who is in love with Oliver Wood!
Everything but the plot belongs to J.K. Rowling!
"He's staring at you again."
I glanced up at my friend, confused. "Who?"
She rolled her eyes. "Oliver, of course. Who else?"
"He is not. Stop lying." I sighed.
She held up her hands. "I'm not. Look for yourself."
"But if I look now, he'll know we're talking about him."
She just rolled her eyes again.
"Alright, just to satisfy you. What end of the table is he sitting at?"
"Towards the teacher's end."
I nonchalantly glanced over my right shoulder, then my left towards the teacher's table. Shit.
I brought my head back around as my mouth dropped open.
"You were right, Sarah. Why is he staring at me?"
"Correction: Why does he keep staring at you?"
My mouth snapped shut as my eyes snapped to meet hers.
"How should I know? Guys are weird."
"You should do something about it, Em."
"You're right. I will."
She looked shocked as I stood up and began walking towards him. He saw me coming and quickly began to eat.
I approached him and placed my hands on the table. He looked at me.
"Hey, Oliver. How's it going?"
He looked confused. "Alright I suppose."
"Good. I have a question for you."
"Go on."
"Why is it that I keep finding you staring at me?"
He visibly gulped. "I-itbecauseIreallylikeyou."
It was my turn to be confused. "What?"
He looked everywhere, except at me. "It's because I really like you."
My mouth dropped for the second time that day. "Really?" I managed to squeak out.
He finally looked into my eyes and slowly nodded.
I recovered enough from my shock and leaned even further towards him. "Well good, because I like you too."
His face broke into a smile. "Do you want to go out with me on Saturday?" Well at least he grew some balls.
"Sure."
"Does 6 sound good?"
"Sounds great. I'll meet you outside the Great Hall?" He nodded his head. "See you then…Oliver." His name sounded so good on my tongue. I hoped I would be saying it a lot.
I walked away and smirked at Sarah when I sat down.
"What happened?"
"He asked me out." She gasped. "And I said yes." She gasped again.
"That's awesome! When is it? What are you going to wear?"
"It's Saturday, and I don't know yet. I will figure that out when the time comes. I'm headed back to the common room, you coming?"
"Yeah."
We grabbed our bags and when we got to the doors, I glanced back at the Gryffindor table. He was staring at me again; I smirked and gave him a wink, causing him to smile.
I turned back around and kept walking alongside Sarah chatting all the way back to Ravenclaw tower.
xXx
When I went to bed that night, all I saw was Oliver's smiling face.
Before I knew it I was drifting off to sleep with a smile on my face.
The next chapter is just another way this could have happened. They just came to me one right after another.
Hope you like it!
